Ok so I have been pretty sure I am pregnant all this week but have been having trouble getting a possitive hpt. I took one more today and the not pregnant line was a lot lighter than usuall... Have any of you had this in your early pregnancy... If I could just wait to go to the dr tomorrow and stop worring that would be great; oh and she took my blood a week after we had sex. Do u still think that it would show up that Im pregnant?

I took a blood test 3 weeks after sex and it was negative then a week later a positive home test so good luck

Thinks I keep reading about all of these people that they don't find out till almost a month and it is killing me. Im only 19 and if I am pregnant we would like to get married before I start showing...

Yea it takes a while but if I was u in will got to the docs and get a blood test done in a couple weeks

I have taken pregnancy tests when neither line showed up. Those things can be very accurate or just screwed up! I would see the doctor and ask them to test again. And also, I would like to give you a bit of advice. Don't get married just because you're pregnant. It might be worse on the kid in the long run.

First of all, what time of day are you taking the HPTs? Using first morning urine is most accurate.

How late is your period? Many times the HPT will not show up positive until you are 4 - 12 weeks pregnant no matter what the tests say.

Taking blood a week after having sex will most likely show a negative as it takes quite a while for the corpus luteum to begin producing hCG when pregnant.

Understand that it takes about 3 days from the sperm meeting the egg before th egg moves down the fallopian tube to implant itself into the uterus.

It is the fetus or what is called the zygote at this stage that is what produces the hormone hCG. Unless this is developed to a certain extent, you will get a negative whether it be a blood test or a urine test. Many doctors will not even attempt to test until you are 2 - 3 months late for your period.
